Jack Ma from Alibaba
Absolutely Jack Ma. Very hard for people who are not Chinese or haven't spent a lot of time in China to know just how hilariously impossible Jack Ma's journey was. All of society's chips were stacked against him. Would definitely recommend people to look more into him, very inspiring.
Also 100% agree with Schwarzenegger -- he is the epitome of the American dream.
yeah those two are prime examples of what hard work, a dream, a determination can get you
Michael Bloomberg Sheldon Adelson
arnold schwarzenegger
the story of how Sylvester Stallone made it big is pretty cool too, you have to give him props for it
Ben Carson - Gifted Hands. Great story. Movie and book about it.
Lloyd Blankfein. Interesting how, despite being the face of corporate America to the public, he is actually the face of the American dream. Poor kid, tries hard, goes to Harvard on full ride, quits being a lawyer, gets into banking.
Sam Zell. His family took the last train out of Poland before the invasion. Got into property management (one of the least sexy areas of RE) and is now a billionaire. Great book too.
Jack Ma as detailed above. His story is ridiculously inspiring.
Michael J. Lindell Dude was a major crackhead until he invented My Pillow while he couldn’t sleep, now he’s worth ~200million. Samuel L Jackson used to smoke crack too now he’s a mega star. Steve-O too his recovery is insane, dude had the wildest life, as a former addict those stories are all my favorite rag to riches.
